Advance In Price.
New YORK, Nov. 1e.-The stock market
was more active to-day than for months
past, and the same steady, but slow, ad-
vance in prices marked the dealings still
further. The announcement that the West
ern Union was to be granted quotation
on the London stock exchange, though
,afterward denied, had stimulating effect
upon that stock and indirectly upon the
general list. The conviction Of the largest
bucket shop keeper in the city also gave an
impetus TO the general good feeling inside
the board, and go helped the improvement.
Everything shared In the advance, and the
business done was more equally distributed
than uAual OF late and the gains more uhi-
form.
Almost oil stocks reached higher figures
than at any time during the present rise,
the buying being general, and tho market
broadeped perceptibly. The temper Of the
room was bullish throughout and commits
sion people were more liberal buyers, the
selling being by the professionals and the
Chicago party principally, though there
was some realizing as usual. Western
Union and st. Paul were the leaders In the
forenoon and the latter was very, prominent
late In the day. The Vanderbilts again
came TO the front and the rumors OF In
creased dividends were influential In ad-
vancing their prices. The coal roads were
b also active and the bituminous companies,
while not SO strong as Yesterday, were quite
prominent in the dealings. The bears made
o demonstration agaiust the list In the day,
hut with little effect. The close was firm
at Or near the highest figures Of the day;
Money on call has been easy, opening

and closing offered at 3. Sterling exchange

to 4S2 for 60.day bills and 4S5 to 1854 for
